Correct Answer is ["117"]

Explanation

The total volume of the blood transfusion is 350 mL. The transfusion is to be administered over 3 hours.

To find the mL per hour, we'll divide the total volume by the total time:

Flowrate(mL/hr)=Totaltime(hr)Totalvolume(mL)

Flowrate(mL/hr)=3hr350mL

Flowrate(mL/hr)=116.666...mL/hr

Rounding to the nearest whole number, the nurse should set the IV pump to deliver 117 mL/hr.
